Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

[Dogfish]

I mean. Seriously. This looks fucking cool.



I was wary at first, but it's Rocksteady. I should have been more trusting. And I don't say that often/ever.

[MightyHypnotic]

Yeah! This looks awesome!

[sensualbarbarian]

unfortunately the release has been delayed

[Dogfish]

Looks like most big game releases are hitting delays these days. Most of these projects have been in development for years and the disruption of the Covid pandemic has taken months of productivity off them.

[Evil Spider]

One delay at least has been quite the standard for some years already, then around a year to fix too many issues in the games after the launch.

When I worked for Sony the attitude was you either ship or lose your job. Only time there was a delay was when two games in the same genre were released near each other so they pushed one back. Normally Sony blows a gasket on delays.

Spectacular!

[sensualbarbarian]

After the disaster with cyberpunk its best companies do not announce release dates or even the year until they are absolutely clear on the state of the game and that it will be playable without a million glitches. CD project red has delayed its Witcher 3 upgrade again and Bethesda's Starfield is going to be delayed, if they stopped announcing release dates then they wouldn't have to say its delayed lol.

Still with this Kill the JL game I am wondering if you will actually get to kill the JL members

[Dogfish]

The thing is if you're a company with shareholders you have to say when you're releasing a game, and there comes a point where, because of the shareholders, that game has to arrive. Whether it's a CP2077 looking mess or not.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm less hype of it despite being made by Rocksteady, creators of Arkhamverse & Kevin Conroy voicing Batman one last time. I have yet see full game play other than a peek on Fandome.

I friend of mine works for Bungie, which is now Sony, and they hit their deadlines consistently, but that's because about halfway through the development cycle, they have a meeting where they sit down and look at all the features of the game, and determine which ones are complete enough to go into the finished game. The ones that aren't ready or very nearly complete get pulled out, and then they spend a year or more on testing and polish. The incomplete stuff will get finished for the 2.0 release.

Hope this game is interesting & they address some rumors.

I keep seeing it advertised but it never comes out.

It's poor marketing on WB/Rocksteady's part. That's why I'm skeptical on buying it & losing interest in it. They said telnet show 15 minutes of game play. We'll see.

We finally get to see another Suicide Squad gameplay, courtesy of Playstation State of Play livestream. It look cool & might get it.

[Mr. X]

Capt Boomerang using guns?

Capt Boomerang using guns?

That the first thing I asked to myself when watching it.

[shevek]

So here's something interesting: I guess I'm somewhat of an "industry insider" now, since I've been attending a "comics industry" convention here in Pittsburgh this week.

I was at the DC panel today, where the DC staff announced their upcoming slate of movies and comic book events, and they did announce this Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League limited comic book series that will go along with the game. Along with the "Dawn of DC" event, it seems like one of the larger promotional pushes they are doing this year. Nobody in the audience asked if Captain Boomerang was using guns, though. They obviously overlooked that very important detail. Blimey!

[Heroineaddicted]

More details of the game & its takes place after conclusion of Arkham Knight, 5 years to be exact.

[Heroineaddicted]

Well damn. To be honest, I'm losing interesting in this. Sad

[Dogfish]

Yeah, there are so many red flags at this point I'm going to be giving it a wide berth. Which is sad, Rocksteady are some of my favourite devs. This just looks so far off what it ought to be though.

[Mr. X]

Seems like its going to turn out as bad as Avengers. Also notice you see no clips of Batman, Wonder Woman, small amount of Flash and Superman. Seeing some game play it seems like the characters are all flavors of ice cream, nothing distinctive. They all have guns for example. Why does Capt Boomerrang have a gun?

Or King Shark?

And if guns are the main modus operandi why isn't Deadshot automatically vastly superior to the others because guns are actually his thing?

Gigantic and I suspect fatal questions to this approach.

The more I think on it the sadder this game makes me, it's taken so long and it looks so wrong. We could have had literally anything from Rocksteady in all these years but what we get is this thing.

On the plus side, it's going to make Gotham Knights look loads better.
